Hello one and all!

Marathon season has arrived and for some ‘lucky’ folk like myself the 13^th April 2008 will be the first time I take the plunge – venue…..London.

In return for my blood, sweat and tears you kind citizen’s will be able to help raise a few bob for an extremely worthy charity ‘YoungMinds’.

Did you know….?

·          Nearly 1 in 10 children and young people in aged between 5 and 16 are suffering from behavioural, emotional or hyperactivity disorders.

·          1 in 5 are experiencing less severe mental health problems that significantly affect their daily lives.

·          Nearly 80,000 young people suffer from serious depression.

·          1 in 12 deliberately self-harm.

Your kind contribution and support will help YoungMinds continue to: 

·         Manage a Parents Information Helpline for adults concerned about the mental health of a young person.

·         Carry out outreach work in schools and youth groups to raise young people’s awareness of the need to stay mentally healthy.

·         Work with isolated or vulnerable groups such as rural and ethnic minority communities, and with fathers, on issues of young people’s mental health.

·         Hold workshops and training for professionals working with young people.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: YoungMinds will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for taking the time to read this page – 26.2 miles is all in the mind right??

Please pass on to your family and friends.

Cheers for now

Rudi
